Coat of Arms Designer Requests
Note: the Coat of Arms Design program is now available. Read more about it at this link.
As mentioned in my prior post, I’m nearing the first public release of my Coat of Arms Design software. I’m still planning on making it available next week. But I’ve got two requests at the moment for anyone who is interested in using the software.
- What charges (lion passant, eagle displayed, cross flory, fleur-de-lis, etc.) do you plan to use? Initially, I think I’ll have 50 available to choose between. I’d like to make sure those 50 are the 50 that most people want. However, I’ll be adding 10-25 each week or so for the first few weeks that the software is out available and more occasionally after that. So if a charge you want isn’t there at first, email me and I’ll do my best to add it.
- Do you have any ideas for a better name for the software than “Coat of Arms Designer”? I know there was older software that I was never able to see called “Blazon!” but as best as I can tell that isn’t available and hasn’t been updated in years. Also, when making suggestions keep in mind my target audience is people with only a casual interest in heraldry, so names that use some arcane term in heraldry may not be a good fit.
Please post comments here or email me at joewetzel at gmail dot com with a list of charges I should include as a priority and/or ideas for names for the software.
